Could teaching be for you?
Our Teaching Internship Programme gives university students a paid, immersive three-week experience in real classrooms. If you’re studying a STEM subject or languages, this is your chance to see teaching first-hand, build skills, and make a difference – all with expert mentoring and support.

What our trainee teachers say about us
Last year, Georgina decided to make a career change.
Her previous work experience had shown her how much she enjoyed developing others and she couldn't wait to make a difference in the classroom. We asked Georgina, 5 months into her teacher training, to share why she decided to change career and what it's like to train to teach with the BLP.
I knew it had to be Brigshaw
Whilst studying languages at the University of Leeds, Rona completed a placement at Brigshaw High School. She fell in love with the ethos of the school and the languages department and knew it would be the best place for her to complete her training.
A change of direction
After taking a short break from work after the birth of her youngest daughter, Sarah felt now was the right time to pursue a new path. She was drawn to the warmth and community feel of the BLP primaries.
Making a difference. Locally.
As someone who grew up and went to school in Kippax, Victoria looks back on her own school days fondly. When she decided to train to teach, she knew she wanted to make a difference to the local community.
